I'm finally brewing again, yeah! Since my last batch, over a year ago, I've upgraded my system and have dove head first into all grain. I have an Alaskan amber clone brewed with some Hugh Baird in ferment at the moment and I'll be brewing a Kolsch this weekend. I'm thinking I'd like a clear...

Greetings all, from a first time user from Dallas, TX. Recently I purchased a 9-gal kettle fully modified with thermometer and ball tap from BrewForLessNow.com. For $100 each I bought 2. I figured one for my HLT and the other for the MT/LT. Seem to be built well and I was able to attach a 3/8"...
